And while you could almost blink and miss it in amongst everything else this episode wants to get across, he’s an unpleasant sort hiding out in the ruins of Chernobyl. The other major player the episode introduces is the villain of the piece, Valentine (Alan Van Sprang). It’s a lot to take in, and there’s still more to come. After a few jargon-filled conversations, Clary scrunches up her face and begs Jace to explain what’s going on in a more straightforward way, as much for our sake as for hers, and he sums it up with “All the legends are true.”

Before long, Clary runs into the Shadowhunters from the first scene, and we’re introduced to Jace (Dominic Sherwood), Isabelle (Emeraude Toubia), and Alec (Matthew Daddario), plus their world of CGI tentacles and magic tattoos.
SHADOW HUNTER SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 FULL
Think that’s a lot of pining for 40 minutes? That’s not even the full list of characters who are in desperately unrequited love in this episode.
Then there’s Clary’s mum, Jocelyn (Maxim Roy), who we learn through flashbacks is a kickass monster hunter who’s had a warlock (Harry Shum Jr) alter Clary’s memory to protect her, and Clary’s pseudo-step-father, Luke (Isiah Mustafa), who’s hopelessly in love with Clary’s mum, though she’s oblivious. Meanwhile, his bandmate Maureen (Shailene Garnett) is hopelessly in love with Simon, though he’s mostly oblivious. So we meet Clary’s best friend Simon (Alberto Rosende) and immediately establish that he’s hopelessly in love with her, while she’s oblivious. The series of books the show is based on, The Mortal Instruments, has a pretty large supporting cast, and Shadowhunters seems determined to introduce as many of them as possible in as short a time as possible – including all aspects of their personalities and relationships to one another. But then it’s time to introduce some other characters, and that’s where things start to go wrong.
